Renderman works fine but rendering in 'it' just shows 'it' showing 'Empty' and does nothing
I have been using RM for a month or so now. 

Make sure your IPR is running before you render. Using your viewport is almost pointless for viewing your renders. 

Everything is run through "IT". 

Make sure you have Blender rendering to "IT"


If you want to upload your blend file I can test it out. 

I would recommend going through the RM forums

https://renderman.pixar.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?s=&amp;forumid=166

They are awesome, they usually respond very fast for any problems.

PS Not sure what you meant by installing the MAYA version to get "IT". That might be the problem. I didnt do it that way. "IT" should just come with RM. I did NOT install the MAYA version, I still have "IT".
